Review

I had a 2001 Forester L for about 6
months prior to this. The 2002 is so
much better! All the great new changes
dont make me wish for the low APR I had
on my '01.

Favorite Features

AWD system is fantastic. I continue to
be amazed at its off-road abilities.
Built quality
Resale value: I lost only $3000 dollars
from new purchase price on 2001 when
traded in.
Simple and utilitarian.
Gas mileage.
2001 seats are better than 2001.
Rear discs now standard.

Suggested Improvements

I was insulted when dealership tried to
place a $1,500 market value adjustment
on a Subaru Forester!
Paid $500 over invoice. Paid $500 under
on 2001.
Make sunroof available on mid-level
models w/o having to go to premium
package and monochromatic paint jobs.
